This seems to be a fairly common request so I've scratched my own itch and put up a patched version of Getmail on github that adds a configuration parameter "use_peek" to the imap and imapssl retrievers. This leaves the end user in control of whether or not to risk using body.peek against a potenti

Hi, I too am getting quite a few issues with Getmail marking retrieved messages as read, before I've read emails in my inbox. Whilst I can understand what refdoc is saying regarding it not being a bug as such, however I do not see it as feature either. I cannot think of a scenario where a user wo

FWIW, I never saw this (the marking as "read" as a bug but as a feature. It does what it says on the tin - the mail is donwloaded/"read". It tells me when I am absent from home that the downloader runs just fine. There are sure other ways of learning of downloader failure, but this is kind of an ob

The original author has not presented a single technical argument - but the behaviour is unspecified, astonishing, thus a bug. Read on. Charles Cazabon made emotional/personal arguments on the patch per se (fear it might break things when in fact I had tested successfully against all IMAP servers

I consider this not as a bug but as a feature request. It is also inapprorpiate to put it here into Ubuntu as a bug, when it is abundantly clear that the developer does not consider it a bug, has stated that he has no intentions to change the code - however trivial it might seem - and has given tec

I'd posted it, but (RANT) Charles rejected it and my post on the arrogant assertion he knew best what suited his users and the lame excuse he was loathe because he didn't know if it worked (where he usually rubs RFCS in, and this is RFC 3501 compliant) -- only to have the same question asked on his
